“But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.” (Daniel 1:8) With this decision, Daniel was refusing the best the kingdom had to offer. Why would a young man who had lost everything—his home, his freedom, his royal position, his identity—turn down the one luxury offered in his captivity? He was choosing plain vegetables and water over the king's feast and perfectly-aged wine. What was Daniel thinking? Join us for this week's Bible Bits message on the Fruit of the Spirit: Self-Control. We'll reveal the story behind Daniel's surprising choice and see how this same steadfast faith empowered Jesus to overcome temptation in the desert. ------------------------------------------------------ Want to learn more about me and my adorable dog, Toto? 🐾 Check out our story: https://www.julieosborne.com/about For more videos, inspiring stories, and cute dog memes, sign up for our bi-weekly newsletter! ✉️ Sign Up Here: http://eepurl.com/bGW0nD 🔔 And don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to this channel so you don’t miss a thing! ~ CONNECT WITH ME ~ Website: https://www.julieosborne.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorJulieOsborne/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozandtoto/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/author-julie-osborne/ #bible #biblestudy #scripture #bible101 #bibleteaching #biblefacts #biblestudyforwomen #biblebites #biblebits #JulieOsborne #AuthorJulieOsborne #spiritualgrowth #godsword #faith #christianauthor #fruitofthespirit #galatians522 #galatians5 #selfcontrol #holyspirit #holyspiritpower #temptation #Daniel #bookofdaniel #matthew26 #babylonianexile #luke4 #jesustemptation #satan #itiswritten #james47 Thanks for tuning in as we journey through the Bible together - a bit at a time!
